A commentary by the B.C. manager of government relations for CLAC, the Christian Labour Association of Canada. CLAC represents about 60,000 people.
The provincial government’s restrictive labour model for public infrastructure projects continues to place an undue burden on British Columbians, generating massive cost overruns, reducing bidders and, perhaps most egregiously, denying local and Indigenous workers the right to work.
This might appear to be a strange development for a policy which aimed to provide increased and prioritized access to work for Indigenous and other under-represented groups, but the framework’s discriminatory scheme was baked-in from the start. The only exception, of course, is when they attempt to work on a public infrastructure project that is funded by their own tax dollars. Eventually, workers were bound to stand and say “no.”
Sadly, they, along with the majority of B.C.’s construction workforce, continue to be ignored. We can only hope that those standing with Cowichan Tribes can accomplish what so many have hoped for — to prompt the government to open public projects to the public.
